Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 83

“Brother Sullivan, please help my mother and me. Please defend us. We really are innocent.” Emily Quest’s tears would not stop rolling down her cheeks. Her body was trembling severely as she looked at Tom Sullivan with a helpless gaze.

“Emily Quest, I really do look down upon you. Are you still trying to shift the blame at this point?” Tom said through gritted teeth while he clenched his fists tightly.

Although Emily had already expected Tom to behave like this, she still felt very hurt by his words.

Emily felt as if her mother and herself were like rats on the streets whom everyone hated.

“I told you none of this is at it seems,” Emily explained.

However, Tom could not even be bothered to listen to her explanation as he turned his face away.

After a second, Emily stopped herself from feeling hurt as she quickly walked over to Jeremy Quest and kneeled on the ground.

“Dad, I really am innocent. Please look into this again.” She held onto Jeremy’s hand tightly.

Since Jeremy was already very angry, Emily’s behavior was the final straw to trigger him.

“You are the criminal in the Quest family. If you still try to deny what you did, I will beat you to death right now!” Jeremy yelled before slapping Emily across her face forcefully.

“Wham!”
